Kaizer Chiefs star to rub shoulders with Lionel Messi & Vinicius Jr in USA as South American teams submit squads

The 29-year-old's chances of securing a spot looked bleak due to his dip in form during the latter part of the 2023/24 season with the Glamour Boys.&nbsp; However, it appears he managed to impress the national team selectors with his pivotal performance in the first half of the season at club level to ensure <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C66ST5DrZhY/?img_index=1" target="_blank">his spot</a> ahead of the upcoming tournament.

WHAT HAPPENED?

This year’s edition of the Copa America competition is set to take place in the United States, where 16 nations prepare to become the champions of their continent.&nbsp; This is the second time that the USA will have the honour to host the tournament, which will take place from June 21st.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

While, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, the United States, Canada and Costa Rica represent the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) nations.

WHO ARE THE PARTICIPATING NATIONS?

As Castillo gears up to represent his nation in the Copa America, his immediate priority lies in finishing the Premier Soccer League season with Chiefs.&nbsp; Currently <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/psl/table/yv73ms6v1995b5wny16jcfi3" target="_blank">positioned eighth</a> on the standings, the Glamour Boys cling precariously to their spot with 35 points, matching Polokwane City's tally in ninth place.
